Our
Beginnings
It
began as a way to get justice.
After
a decade of being dragged sideways, kicking and screaming
through unrelenting hell, I had lost my faith in the justice
system. Every government agency with the power and
authority to stop the crimes, kept telling me it "wasn't
their jurisdiction."
I
thought if I put my story on the internet, the media would
find it, and be outraged at law enforcement and prosecutors
indifference.
Instead,
I got masses of crime victims denied justice seeing me
as the beacon of light. They too wanted to be heard and
wanted to know what happened to them mattered.
As
the FTC ran its survey asking people if they had been a
fraud victim, WJFA ran an extensive survey on our web site
that asked more specific questions about the impacts of
the crime and did they get justice and what was the fallout.
WJFA
has the most comprehensive database of survey results that
provides the most detailed and clear picture of what is
actually going on out there and what the fallout has been.
I learned that I was not alone. I was
not alone in not having a place to go for help or guidance.
I
had become a beacon of light in the storm for others across
the country. I realized, that just by having their story
posted on the web sight, gave them peace, and a sense that
they mattered.
The
web site that began in 2000 as Where's the Justice in Sacramento,
became Where's the Justice For All? in 2003, and by 2006,
we shortened it to WJFA so we could be more proactive in
providing tips and recommendations for dealing with the
impacts of the crime and hurdle of rebuilding your life
after the mess.
When
it started in 2000, an average of 100 people per year found
the web site. In 2008, the site has been averaging some
28,000 hits per month.
We
started with three people in the support group paying it
forward to help incoming victims, to now having an average
of some 261 people paying it forward, with an average of
1,000 people coming and going.
WJFA
is that soft place to land for crime victims. People can
trust that no one here would try to profit from their misery. There
is no advertising, endorsements, promoting, selling, or
anything.
Paying
it forward is my philosophy and I feel blessed that so
many who had come here for help have stayed to help provide
a support system for others coming in.
Pay
it forward is all we ask. Even a kind word of understanding
means everything to someone in turmoil.
I
thank you for your interest in WJFA. We are committed to
fighting the good fight against career criminals robbing
innocent people of their identities, life savings, homes,
and businesses.
Too many lives have been destroyed by fraud, which is the
leading crime in this country.
By

the line against criminals by exposing them and giving
their victims a voice that they do matter and what happened
to them matters. In turn, it helps warn the public
of how scam artists operating, and how to recognize the
warning signs.
